Cadillac Car Ben Harney (Ft. Candy Darling, Cleavant Derricks (actor), The Company, Jennifer Holliday, Loretta Devine, Obba Babatundé, Paul Binotto, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Stephanie Eley & Vondie Curtis-Hall)
[CURTIS]
Big
As in large
As in huge
As in mine is better than yours
Now, once upon a time, the Cadillac car represented the highest classes in America:
The pure unstained WASP
They never worried about the costs, no
Then the Cadillac car was bought by the rising Jews to show they were just as good and part of the scheme
Now we've got the Cadillac taken over by our Negro brother to prove he, too, belongs
In the American dream
Look, I'm tryin' to tell you
[JIMMY, spoken]
You better hurry up, baby.
[CURTIS]
I'm tryin' to tell you thus:
If the big white man can make us think we need his Cadillac to make us feel as good as him
We can make him think he needs our music to make him feel as good as us
[JIMMY & C.C.]
We'll make him feel as good as us
